Oh now, I have the sweetest animal news ever. Ok, not really news but rather a video that you will LOVE!
The other day we posted Anne The Rescued Elephant Looks Happy In Her New Home, it links to other stories about Anne the abused circus elephant in the UK. It also has links to pictures of Anne in her new home where she has a sand pit, logs, tires…to play with. The pictures were great. It just warmed our hearts to see her without chains and having a little room to move around.
Today I see that the Born Free Foundation has gotten a video of Anne playing! Yes, she looks so relaxed and happy taking a sand nap. She even gets a bit of a butt rub from a handy log. While Born Free says on their video comments that they normally do not support animals being held in captivity…Anne is a special case. She is MUCH better off at Longleat safari park than in a dark barn at a circus.
Watch Anne enjoying her freedom.
I did not see her “pool” but I read that she did have one. It maybe small but, people are working to make things better for her. It may not be perfect yet, but she looks much happier than she did in the video of her at Bobby Roberts circus barn!
After 50 years of performing tricks and living in shackles…she is “free”.
Special thanks to Isha Blue Bell for showing us this video and for caring about the animals!
she’s exploring the whole thing just like a puppy…Anne deserves to be happy and free!! You guys have been great.
